Bienvenue à Lawless French
Bonjour les Francophiles ! This free website is packed with resources for students of all levels – where to begin?
If you’re just starting to learn French, go directly to French for beginners: a self-study checklist will guide you through lessons in a logical way.
Alternatively, if you just want to learn some useful travel phrases, sign up for my 6-week travel French ecourse.
Otherwise, you can use this site à la carte – here are some links that might help.
Lessons and exercises by level
Lawless French has grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation lessons as well as listening and reading comprehension exercises sorted by level.
Lessons and exercises by topic
If you’re using a computer, the right-hand column is your friend: you’ll find a search box followed by categories and tags for everything from abbreviations and common mistakes to speaking practice and word order. If you’re on a mobile device, these lists are way down at the bottom, so you might like to check out the lesson index or sitemap instead.
